How do I start programming and developing applications?

You should start programming and developing applications with easy training like this Intro to Programming and Development course that familiarizes you with the concepts around programming.

Is this Intro to Programming and Development course associated with a certification?

No, this Intro to Programming and Development course doesn't prepare you for any particular certification. This course isn't what might be called a "hard skills" course – you won't be fluent in a programming language afterward, and you won't develop any applications during it.
